On September 26th, 2022, NASA’s Double-Asteroid Redirect Test (DART) made history when it rendezvoused with the asteroid Didymos and impacted with its moonlet , Dimorphos.
The study, which recently appeared in Acta Astronautica , was conducted by Adalberto Domínguez, Víctor M. Moreno, and Francisco Cabral – three researchers affiliated with the Spanish satellite developer GMV .

NASA Scientists Outline The "Most Unsettling Solution" To The Fermi Paradox | IFLScience
If Earth is so unremarkable in the grand scheme of things, where are all the aliens? A team of scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has tackled the question by looking at the Great Filter theory, humanity's place in it, and our future as a species.
The team is somewhat optimistic about nuclear threat, which they list as "perhaps the most obvious of Great Filters", pointing at longer trends of a tendency against war (though they say we are still trapped in a "vicious circle") and towards (albeit imperfect) democracy and peace.
NASA Offers the Healthcare Industry a Lesson in Prevention | MedPage Today
In September, NASA crashed a DART spacecraft into an asteroid to alter its course. This was a test for our planetary defense strategy, to determine if this same technique could be used in the future to avoid a catastrophic hit and protect Earth.
If they identify the asteroid too close to Earth, there's not much they can do to stop it -- we're going to get hit. But if they can detect it farther out in space, that's a game-changer.

Betelgeuse's mysterious 'Great Dimming' may have been triggered by a wandering black hole | Space
In late 2019, the star Betelgeuse dimmed by about 60%. While it's impossible to say with certainty exactly what caused it, new research suggests that a wandering companion may have played a role.
Betelgeuse is one of the most easily recognizable stars in the sky. You can see it as the bright red shoulder of Orion and is usually the 10th brightest star in the sky.
